Calorie Management for Bushcraft Activities
I am sure many survivalists have watched the show “Naked and Afraid”. They burn a lot of calories (energy out) but consume minimal calories (energy in) during their assigned time to enter and finish the challenge in harsh and unpredictable conditions. Caloric balance is critical for survival, but they tend to do some tasks that are not beneficial for their success.

How To Stay Warm with Water
When you are out and it gets cold, there are several ways to stay warm. Best way is layering clothing and being near a heat source like a campfire. But if you get a downpour of rain while you are building a shelter and get soaking wet, you may have limited amount of dry clothing to get into. The best thing to do is drink water.
REVIEW: TIDRADIO TD-H3 Radio
There are a lot of choices for GMRS radios. Many of them are okay, and only a few are great. I always look for a radio that has clear audio, an easy to view display, and easy to program on the fly. This radio has all of that at a very good price. Here are the things I like about this radio.
Keep Bugs Away From Camp
Watch a few episodes of Naked and Afraid, and you’ll see people covered in bug bites, and tons of mosquitoes and ants and other bugs that attack them. There are ways to minimize this, but not all locations will have the necessary items to keep you from getting devoured by bugs. So, what can you do?
Trenches for Bushcraft Shelter
Most bushcraft shelters work well except when it rains. When inclement weather strikes, it can be a very wet shelter. Worse yet, it can start to flood on the dry floor that you need to sleep on. The solution to this is making a trench around your shelter.
